2014 Giro d'Italia, Stage 20: Maniago-Monte Zoncolan (167 Km)

[Libertine Seguros]

LOL

No I just think he has had a rough time and this is probably his greatest achievement.

Apart from the injuries since I don't like to see people get hurt, he deserves most of the misfortune that has come his way.

 

[Arnout]

Pozzovivo once again fading in the final week.

 

[Kwibus]

Evans passed Kelderman. Predicted it more or less.

Unless they don't show Kelderman.

edit: and they didn't show him....

 

[BigMac]

Go Cadel! Legend!

 

[Afrank]

"This has been one of those epic Giro d'Italia days, what a way to finish the race."

Oh shut up Carlton.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kelderman passes Evans.

 

[Red Rick]

Everyone get your children, dogs and kittens away from Libertine, or you won't like what may happen next

 

[Lupi33]

cant blame "the stage"

the problem is it was a stage too many. so many tough climbs in this race already and it was just about getting home and dry for Quintana

 

[Fzotrlool]

Fines or penalties if you disrupt the race!

 

[Netserk]

I got 41'35'' for Quintana and Uran, but we didn't see them the first 100m, so a few seconds more than that.

 

[Kokoso]

Apart from the injuries since I don't like to see people get hurt, he deserves most of the misfortune that has come his way.

Who are your five least likeable riders?

Rogers won a stage, how much worse could what's next possibly be?

 

[luckyboy]

Tomorrow's sprint will be more interesting than this

 

[webvan]

So Quintana and Uran only pulled back 3' on Rodgers...nice, NOT !

Hesjedal to lose his 9th spot to Kiserlovski ? He has 3'48" to come in.

Anyone times the climb ?

 

[Arnout]

the stelvio stage and that mountain that followed was the race in a nutshell

today was just a neutralised procession for the leaders

You're right actually

Good thing the mountain breakaway wins were exciting, but yeah I think this proves excessive backloading is not the way to go. Riders will just go on the hardest stage and that's it.

 

[hfer07]

honestly- what a dull stage

 

[RedheadDane]

I have a question for all of you complaining about the GC guys not doing more:
Is it possible they were just... you know... tired?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Well, that was dull.
But a great win for Rogers, the super climber.

 

[hrotha]

Evans. Be dropped at the beginning of the Zoncolan. Lose like 2:30 on the two strongest guys.

Dis stage.

 

[Afrank]

Wonder what Rogers thinks of the fan that may have given him the win?

 

[willbick]

zzzzzzzzzzoncolan.

is riders crawling up 20% ramps at walking pace really what the sport should be doing? may as well have a formula 1 race on a muddy field

 

[classicomano]

Next time they finish on Zoncolan, De Greef will win.

 

[hrotha]

I have a question for all of you complaining about the GC guys not doing more:
Is it possible they were just... you know... tired?

Of course they were tired. What does that have to do with anything?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Who are your five least likeable riders?

I contributed to the "nail your colours to the mast" thread, so you can check that.

But suffice to say, Sagan, Gerrans, Rogers and Froome are four of the five.

 

[l.Harm]

I think most of the GC guys were done for this Giro. Third week has been incredibly tough.
